The Full-Text Indexing and Search Service is an independent service that handles full-text searches of the repository. Like the Laserfiche Server service, this service must be started in order to function.
The Laserfiche Full-Text Indexing and Search Service can be installed on the same computer as the Laserfiche Server or on a different computer. You can only use one Full-Text Indexing and Search Service per repository, but you can install separate services for each repository. It must run as a user with sufficient rights to access the Laserfiche Server, and it must be able to communicate with the Laserfiche Server using the port you specify during repository or catalog creation.
If the Laserfiche Full-Text Indexing and Search Service is on the same computer as the Laserfiche Server, you can stop or start it in the Laserfiche Administration Console.
To start/stop the Laserfiche Search Service from the Administration Console
- Open the Laserfiche Administration Console.
- Select the Laserfiche Server whose full-text search engine you wish to start or stop.
- From the Action menu, point to All Tasks, and select either the Start Search Service option or the Stop Search Service option.
